Chelsea and Belgium star Eden Hazard showed off some questionable technique on the pads as he tried to mimic UFC champion Conor McGregor

The deadly forward packs a punch on the pitch but might have to work on his power if his short combination is anything to go by, though the 'Notorious' strut that followed was certainly McGregor-esque. 

Chelsea's Twitter account shared the video of Hazard joking around during training in the gym with his Belgium team-mates.

With compatriot and club team-mate Michy Batshuayi behind the camera, Hazard performs the routine, finishing with a left hook.

He then walks away punching himself lightly in the face as if to prepare for a scrap. 

Hazard then breaks into laughter and drops the act. The 26-year-old will be looking to impress Belgium manager Roberto Martinez when his side take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in Saturday's World Cup qualifier.

The winger is making up for lost time having missed the start of the season with a broken ankle suffered in June, coincidentally picked up whilst training with the national side.

But now that Hazard is back in full flow on and off the pitch, Belgium and Chelsea fans are seeing the full force of the diminutive forward once again. 

With two qualifiers remaining, Belgium are in the enviable position of already having qualified so the pressure is off against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cyprus.
